Even if you get by kinda easy because of your vehicles, you will be living in a society with a mass of very angry and messed up people. As I recall, we had heating limits too.
Back in the day, I was a teenager and just learned to drive when Carter did this to the US. My job during that time after school was to help mom keep everyone’s cars with gas. We would pick up dad’s car at the navy base and fill it up (hours in line) and then take it back to his place of work. Then go get my brother’s car at his job and fill it up another day then do mom’s car... We spent most of our time filling up family cars. And back then we had polite Americans-Americans waiting for hours in those lines.
It happened often that the gas station would run out of gas before all the cars in line were served and those people would have to try and find another gas station and wait in line all over again. I think we would probably have a lot of violence with today’s population.
We also had to get gas tank locks on our caps so people would not steal our gas while parked in public places. Theives would drain the gas from your car while it was parked overnight in front of your house or while you were in the grocery store.
Actually, if this happens again, someone could make some money filling up cars for people while they work! People would pay a lot to not have to suffer through those lines! It made people miss work whenever they had to fill up their cars and it was no fun spending those extra hours on that task. It was an economic nightmare for most families. And those who could not afford gas, stole it.
People need to learn a painful and lasting lesson. They’ve already forgotten the lessons of the Carter years. And I think we could do with a society of angry and ‘messed up’ people, because frankly many liberals will perish in such a society. Failing to see how any of this is negative.
